Here the men have convinced the women that there are 3 women for ever man (not correct) and they must be 'competitive' in every way. The boys then tell the girls that they will not use condoms, and the girls accept it. Seems the prefered method of birth control is the withdrawal method, which is good for the abortion clinic industry.

I realize they are necessary in some cases, but I HATE using condoms.

Are you a woman saying this? Really? How can you tell the difference? It feels the same to me.

Yes, I am. You know, it's not so much the feel. I can smell them...I hate the smell. And, without being to gory detailed, I much prefer the climax without one. It's probably more mental than anything, but I just don't like using them.

I also think that using a condom is a great way for man to say that he won't put his pleasure before his partners health.

Using a condom says "I'm not ready to make a commitment to you or trust you to make one to me right now" great for single people who intend to stay single or relationships that aren't at that level where monogamy is a given.

Maybe it just means, we don't want children and she hates taking the pill. Condom use is not unique to the single and the promiscuous.

Using a condom says thank you, maam, for the priviledge of sleeping with you. I am willing to forego a little sensation to ensure that you feel safe while we make love.

I appreciate a man that understands that I will not ingest outside hormones into my body, the risk of increased migraines and uterine fibroids over long periods of use does not turn me on. Nor does the possibility of having mood swings, a little extra puffiness, and possibly increasing my chances of heart disease and/or cancer.

Birth control pills are not for everyone, they can market them in all kinds of ways to make them look like they're so great, but many of our bodies don't agree with them. Anyone that believes condoms are for prolonging your "single days" is obviously not mature enough to have sex.
